New wealthy Koreans, including Kim Bum-soo, Kim Bong-jin, and Kim Taek-jin, take care of their dignity through donations

Bumsoo Kim, Chairman of the Kakao Board of Directors, Taekjin Kim, CEO of NCsoft, Haejin Hae Jin, CEO of Naver GIO, Jeongju Kim, Chairman of Nexon, and Bongjin Kim Chairman of the Graceful Brothers. They are the representative emerging wealthy people in Korea.

They were self-made in new fields such as IT, and they started out as ordinary office workers, not from so-called’gold spoons’, and had success as a startup. In addition to this, it is similar that the dignity is saved through’together donation’ rather than the inheritance of wealth.

They are giving a fresh shock by declaring that they will donate’half of all their property’ one after another. In terms of’atonement’, it is different from the chaebols who donated with money rather than personal property.

On the 18th, Chairman Kim Bong-jin, the founder of the Bae-eui ethnic group, announced that he would give back more than half of his wealth to society.

This donation by Chairman Kim Bong-jin is significant in that it is the first Korean to participate in’The Giving Pledge’. ‘The Giving Pledge’ is a voluntary donation campaign launched in August 2010 when Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett made a promise to give back to society.

Chairman Kim’s fortune amounts to about 1 trillion won, including the value of shares he received while selling the people of delivery to delivery heroes in Germany. About half of this, about 500 billion won or more is donated.

In his pledge of The Giving Pledge, Chairman Kim said, “I and my wife give back more than half of their wealth to society until they die.” He added, “It is difficult to explain the reason for the donation, except that I was lucky and blessed by God.”

Earlier on the 8th, Chairman of the Kakao Board of Directors Kim Beom-soo declared that he would donate more than half of his fortune during his life. His fortune is over 10 trillion won, including Kakao stocks, and the donation is estimated to be over 5 trillion won.

He joined Samsung SDS after graduating from college, founded Hangame in 1998, and released KakaoTalk in 2010. In 2014, it acquired Daum Communications.

On the 26th of last month, Nexon CEO Kim Jeong-ju donated 10 billion won of personal property to help build a children’s hospital. He has a lot of interest in children’s hospitals, and he built the Purme Foundation Nexon Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital in Sangam-dong, Seoul with money donated by Nexon in 2014. In addition, next year, the nation’s first public children’s rehabilitation hospital, the Daejeon Chungnam Nexon Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital, will be opened.

There are also projects that these people gather together. Kakao Chairman Kim Beom-soo created a venture donation fund C program with first-generation founder friends Hae-jin Lee (Naver), Taek-jin Kim (NCSoft), Jeong-ju Kim (Nexon), and Jae-woong Lee (Daum Soka) in 2014 to support educational innovation projects every year. Is coming.
